it just pisses me off, that i join qwai river (which has became the mutrah for me in this version) and see a littlebird, so i get my pilot kit, run and then boom out of nowhere this guy crashes his BH into the LB.
i was there, staring at the screen for hours.

or just inforce people to create a pilot only squad, and leave the choppers to the professionals.

I hate people who create those stupid, one or two man, LOCKED "pilot" squads. It completely detracts from teamwork, IMO, because they sit in those squads, alone, flying around with no serious interaction with infantry. I refuse to join those exclusive club squads when they exist and/or when I am invited if I am using their equipment, because I like to coordinate and work WITH the infantry, like supportive units SHOULD.

Limiting pilot kits won't help either, because you'll just have those people who sit at base waiting for the aircraft to spawn taking all the pilot kits.

I like the idea of commander approved pilot kits. That combined with limiting would solve most of these problems. And actually make it useful for recovering downed pilots.

That's not really a problem anymore since SL spawn is removed and there are commander markers for LZ's etc. What was worse than that is when you have a full squad of MERLIN/BH and someone from the infantry squad runs over and takes off with the chopper.

If I am in one of those squads, I always communicate with other squads and the commander. Asking if LZ is clear etc. But what really, really annoys me is when someone hops in and says "gogogo" without saying where. Or asks for a pickup next to an enemy APC over the hill. Yes, you can´t see it from where you are and it can´t get you, but go and check! Making sure the extraction zone is clear is more than just looking in every direction without moving!
